Prisoner #97A6595 aka Michael Alig was released from prison yesterday. He started it all, one of the original Club Kids along with New York legend James st James. The quote is taken from the movie Party Monster that depicted their very fabulous lives during the rise of the Club Kids. While the story is tragic, climaxing in the death of Andre “Angel” Melendez (the crime which Alig has been serving time for these past 17 years) the theatre, spectacle and opulence is infectious. In anticipation of his release, James st James penned a letter to Alig filling him in on what has been going on these past years, it is well worth a read. The quote above sums up the entire philosophy of their way of life. I find the various costumes and get-ups so fantastical, going out should be more than an event. Your outfit should be an event. I think it does the soul good to dress up every once in a while.
